Beiwu Park

Introducing Beiwu Park

Beiwu Park, located in Sijiqing Town, Haidian District, Beijing, was originally a natural village at the urban-rural junction of Beijing. It is neither a suburban park nor an urban park. Its design emphasizes historical and cultural heritage while also incorporating a modern flair. The environment exudes a rural charm while retaining a humanistic aesthetic.

The park has designated large and small open spaces for leisure, entertainment, and festival celebrations. A small patch of rice paddies, once reserved for the imperial family, still remain. During the autumn harvest, the rice fields sway in the golden yellow, creating a pleasing sight. The park also boasts a variety of landscapes, vegetation, and sculptures. A particularly distinctive feature is the bow-shaped observation deck, a clever use of borrowed scenery. From the deck, one can not only see the nearby Yuquan Mountain but, on clear days, even the Buddhist Incense Pavilion of the Summer Palace.
